Reimagined for 2026
Stanthorpe Little Theatre’s Open Mic Nights are back with a refreshed format, offering a warm, creative space for performers of all kinds—singers, musicians, poets, comedians, writers, and storytellers. Whether you’re sharing original work or performing beloved crowd-pleasers, our stage welcomes you.
In 2026, Open Mic Nights will be held every two months, beginning in February, giving performers more time to prepare polished pieces and making each night a standout event on the community calendar.
New Structure for 2026
6:30-7:00pm – Doors open
7:00–7:30pm – Juniors Spotlight
A dedicated session for our talented young performers (under 18).
Supportive, friendly, and confidence-building—perfect for first-timers and developing artists.
7:30pm onward – Open Mic for Adults
Following the juniors, the stage opens to adult performers. Acts after 8:30pm may include mature themes or strong language; parents are advised to use discretion.
Performer Expectations
To uphold the quality and professionalism of the evening:
- All performers must purchase a performer ticket in advance using the registration form (coming soon) on our website.
